This.
Also, I work electronics at walmart and during my 4 hour shift today, I didn't sell a single copy of Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. Zelda, a franchise that's been around for TWENTY FIVE YEARS and I was suggesting this guy buy it and he was like, what's Zelda? I shit you not. But oh boy, he was there to pick up CoD MW3 for Xbox 360 and I'm just thinking. If it weren't for Nintendo, CoD would have never made it to consoles anyway. Can't figure out why? Here you go.
Doom (improved on wolfenstein which birthed the franchise) > Quake (improved on Doom) > GoldenEye (took Quake's formula and copied it to consoles) > Halo (put the Xbox on the map, saving the system from failure, improved on console FPSes by ten billion percent) > Call of Duty 2 (FPS fix for 360 in 2005 because Halo was nowhere to be found) > sequel> sequel> sequel> sequel> sequel> sequel> sequel> sequel
